A numerical approximation of the initial-boundary system of nonlinear hyperbolic equations based on spectral collocation method is presented in this article. A Chebyshev-Gauss-Radau collocation (C-GR-C) method in combination with the implicit RungeKutta scheme are employed to obtain highly accurate approximations to the mentioned problem. The collocation points are the Chebyshev interpolation n...

This paper discusses a design of nonlinear observer by a formal linearization method using an application of Chebyshev Interpolation in order to facilitate processes for synthesizing a nonlinear observer and to improve the precision of linearization. A dynamic nonlinear system is linearized with respect to a linearization function, and a measurement equation is transformed into an augmented lin...

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a new family of iterative methods for finding zeros of multiplicity of nonlinear equations by using the variational iteration technique. These new methods include the Halley method and its variants forms as special cases. We also give several examples to illustrate the efficiency of these methods. Comparison with modified Newton method is also given. These ...

In this paper a fully explicit, stabilized projection method called the Runge–Kutta–Chebyshev (RKC) projection method is presented for the solution of incompressible Navier–Stokes systems. This method preserves the extended stability property of the RKC method for solving ODEs, and it requires only one projection per step. An additional projection on the time derivative of the velocity is perfo...

The classical column generation approach often shows a very slow convergence. Many different acceleration techniques have beenproposed recently to improve the convergence. Here, we briefly survey these methods and propose a novel algorithm based on the Chebyshev center of the dual polyhedron. The Chebyshev center can be obtained by solving a linear program; consequently, the proposed method can...

This manuscript presents a method for the numerical solution of the Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first kind, over a finite segment which is bounded at the end points of the finite segment. The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind with the corresponding weight function have been used to approximate the density function. The force function is approximated by using the Chebys...

The Falkner-Skan equation is a nonlinear third-order boundary value problem defined on the semi-infinite interval [0,∞). This equation plays an important role to illustrate the main physical features of boundary layer phenomena. This paper presents a new collocation method for solving the Falkner-Skan equation. The proposed approach is equipped by the orthogonal Chebyshev polynomials that have ...

Traditionally, finite differences and finite element methods have been by many regarded as the basic tools for obtaining numerical solutions in a variety of quantum mechanical problems emerging in atomic, nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics, quantum chemistry, etc. In recent years, however, an alternative technique based on the semi-spectral methods has focused considerable attention. Th...

In this paper an efficient modification of the Adomian decomposition method is presented by using Chebyshev polynomials. The proposed method can be applied to linear and non-linear models. The scheme is tested for some examples and the obtained results demonstrate reliability and efficiency of the proposed method. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

A high order staggered-grid Chebyshev multidomain method is used to compute the Euler gas-dynamics equations on unstructured quadrilateral meshes. New results show that the method reduces to the first order upwind scheme when zeroth order polynomial approximations are used, and that by a simple reconstruction procedure the standard Chebyshev collocation method can be recovered. Local time-stepp...
